example 1

[0070]The dressing comprising a compressible body of loose glass-based fibers of FIG. 1 was prepared from glass of composition 53 wt % B2O3, 20 wt % CaO, 12 wt % K2O, 6 wt % Na2O, 5 wt % MgO, 4 wt % P2O5. As shown in FIG. 2, there were some residual beads (microspheres) of that are formed as part of the process for forming fibers. The diameter of the fibers ranged from of about 300 nm to about 2000 nm, as shown in FIG. 3. The microspheres were much larger in diameter and ranged from approximately 20 microns to about 300 microns as shown in FIG. 2.

example 2

[0071]A non-healing wound as shown in FIG. 4 containing a hard, non-viable crust treated in accordance with the invention. The dressing used comprised biocompatible fibers and beads having a composition of 51.6 wt % B2O3, 20 wt % CaO, 12 wt % K2O, 5 wt % MgO, 6 wt % Na2O, 4 wt % P2O5, 0.4 wt % CuO, and 1.0 wt % ZnO of composition 1605 in Table 1. The fibers were on the order of 500 nm to 5 microns in diameters. In addition to the fibers, the dressing contained about 80-90 wt % of particles (beads) having generally spherical shape. The particles had the same borate-based composition as the fibers.

[0072]The dressing was wet with sterile saline and applied against the wound and retained against the wound by a stardard cotton support dressing and wrapped with a compression dressing. The dressing was removed after three to four days, and a new dressing was applied. This removal and application of a new dressing was repeated twice weekly. At each dressing change, the wound was irrigated w...

example 3

[0076]A non-healing wound as shown in FIG. 5 containing a hard black eschar cap was treated in accordance with the Example 2. As can be seen from the figures, the initial wound had a large black eschar cap of the type typically requiring surgical debridement.

[0077]After 9 days of this treatment, the eschar was partially dissolved at the edges, and was easily removed with forceps. The removal of the eschar revealed undermining present (arrows) which shows the wound was actually bigger than the topical cover. Once the cover was removed, the wound was able to heal naturally, first filling in the undermined areas, and then epithelializing across the top of the wound. The image on the right shows the fully healed after debridement with the bioactive glass dressing.

Abstract

A method for debridement of wound on the skin by placing against the wound a glass-based borate-based composition to release dissolution products which support neutrophilic activity into the wound by dissolution.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to non-surgical debridement of wounds in mammals.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Millions of people are treated for non-healing or slow healing wounds every year. Chronic wounds may have black necrotic eschar, yellow fibrin, and red granulation tissue. Wound debridement refers to processes involving, but not necessarily limited to, removal of the black necrosis and / or yellow fibrin debris from wounds intersecting the skin. For proper and timely healing, these nonviable layers of tissue must to be removed prior to normal wound care management.[0003]Wound debridement is typically performed by standard surgical resection during which the area is anesthetized and the dead tissue is cut way. Surgery can be expensive and traumatic, and presents risks of infection.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 5,342,352 discloses debridement of eschar by ablating with a laser.[0005]U.S. Pat. No. 7,368,128 discloses debridement via a controlled release dressing prov...
